A body slipping on a rough horizontal plane moves with a deceleration of 4.0 m/s2. What is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the plane?
The deceleration of body due to friction (a) = 4.0 m/s2
Mass of the body = m
Weight of the body= mg N
Frictional force (f)= ma
f= 4m N
Coefficient of kinetic friction =
so, μ= 0.4
